That would be useful for me, in viewing SyncDisc's logfiles, which 
open in Base Mode, and also WimpLog's logs, which open in SysLog 
modes, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Both these files tend to 
have lines up to 200 or more characters. I've added that line to both 
ModeFiles, and I still don't get the full width of these files when I 
view them. I've tried both re-scanning modes in StrongED and quitting 
and restarting, but no joy.

I imagine that I've missed something vital somewhere, but what, I 
wonder? In the Choices for both these modes I have wrapping set to 
Longest line in file, min. 64 max 256.

With best wishes,

Peter.
